I am 40+2 and have had a homebirth planned. My platelets have been intermittent and have slowly got lower and lower and have now gone below the threshold of 100. They have said they now need to recommend a hospital birth and I really just don't know what to do, I have so geared myself up to have a homebirth now that I really don't want to go into hospital.
This is my second pregnancy and no problem with platelets with the first so don't know if that has any bearing on anything.
Also I had a 3rd degree tear last time so obviously that was another reason against a homebirth but they were happy to go ahead without that causing an issue.
Has anyone else had a homebirth with platelets below 100? also any advice would be great
Thanks
